Default Ultima wheel bearing swap
Gotta 02 Fatboy, bought the Ultima wheels,some members say to change out the wheel bearings cuz they're crap, since the wheel has the 1 inch bearings can I just put in the 3/4 inch bearings ? Has anybody done this yet?

Doing the same project on 07 Night Train right now. Installed new bearings however the hub spacing is way off, haven't figured that one out yet! Plan to mock it up tonight to see what it will in-tell.
